Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Whisk wine vinegar, honey, pineapple juice, lime juice, and garlic together in a small bowl, drizzle in canola oil, whisking constantly. Pour dressing over quinoa mixture, toss gently to combine. Place salad in a serving bowl, garnish with lime slices, jalapeno slices, and reserved cilantro leaves.
